One of the oldest neighborhoods of Boson is Charlestown, home to the historic Charlestown Navy Yard and the Bunker Hill Monument.

The Charlestown peninsula was the site of the battle of Bunker Hill, named for a hill at the northwest end of the peninsula. The British troops unloaded at Moulton's Point and some of the battle took place at Breeds Hill, overlooking the harbor.

Charlestown is now mainly residential with two waterfront marinas, Shipyard Quarters Marina and Constitution Marina. Also, is home to major institutions such as Spaulding Rehabilitation Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Bunker Hill Community College.
